Is that Prince on guitar on Rihanna's "Kiss It Better"?

Sounds like it could be him. And didn't she say that they made a song together on her new album?

So if a song have electric guitar line than we think its Prince? Song does have Prince vibe but that guitar does not sound like Prince at all.

Of course not always. But I was thinking about the rumors on his guest apperance on the album.

He and Joshua had produced a song for Rihanna.

Prince had nothing to do with "Kiss It Better".

That's Nuno Bettencourt from the band Extreme playing guitar on "Kiss It Better".

He's no stranger to playing guitar on R&B artists records. Back in the day, he played guitar on "Black Cat" by Janet Jackson. Although, there were multiple versions of that song. The radio edit and video edit had Nuno on. The album version was Jellybean Johnson, Jesse Johnson and John McClain. And there was yet ANOTHER mix with Vernon Reid from Living Colour, called the "Guitar Mix".

Thanks Militant..I had a feeling it wasn't P....It makes sense that it's Nuno..He has a recent clip online where he's jamming and singing lead on "S.O.T.T"..Great player and cool guy.

Rihanna's "Work" is my favorite song right now. Eye bet prince & Josh have a lot of "mAsTErpIeCeS" locked away in The Vault..

eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince
